The star of the LSU Flau’jae Johnson did not declare for the draft Wnba: source
University basketball maintains another of its greatest stars for the 2025-26 season. Flau’jae Johnson did not declare for the Wnba draft of 2025, a source informed about the confirmed question Atletico.
Senior growing, Johnson has another year of eligibility, but he could have skipped his last season of college because he turns 22 during the civil year of 2025. The deadline to declare for the draft was March 31st, but the players who went to Eight elite received 48 hours after their last game. The LSU season ended in the Élite eight Sunday after a defeat for 72-65 against the UCLA, so Johnson had to warn the League by Tuesday at midnight.
Johnson, who was the first team and all-American Third team all-sec this season, would probably have been a choice of the lottery. However, delaying his entry into Wnba, he will join a League with a new collective bargaining agreement and significantly higher wages. The current value of a beginner contract for four years for a lottery choice is around $ 350,000.
Johnson now returns to the tigers as the undisputed Alpha. They are losing aeesah tomorrow against Wnba, the Junior Sa’myah Smith center is in the transfer portal and the starting point of the Shayeann Day-Wilson starting point is graduated. However, Johnson’s running companion on the wing, Mikaylah Williams, will return to Baton Rouge for his third season. Kim Mulkey has historically been very successful in the portal, bringing Angel Reese and Morrow in recent seasons. In addition, LSU has the high -level recruitment class in the country, named after the Grace Knox attacker.
Johnson will be an All-American Preseason and the tigers will begin the season as a team of the top 10. But the LSU star is returning for more. He wants another national title. Although Johnson was an appetizer of the team he won in 2023, he said after the loss of LSU against the Bruins that He wants to win a championship in which he is the leader.
“Don’t remove my national championship, but I want to do something in which I am one of the team leaders,” said Johnson.
Returning to Baton Rouge offers Johnson another opportunity to do it.
